Overview by IAAF

Gail Devers was involved in a photo-finish yet again, but this time her famed dip was not enough to take gold. The Russian team, including three 200m finalists, led with the United States and Jamaica for the first half of the race. The Jamaicans fell back on the third leg while the leading two teams handed over together. The anchor leg brought Devers (lane 3) against Privalova (lane 4). Devers looked as if she might sprint clear, but the Russian refused to be beaten. Just as in the individual final, the slow-motion replays and photofinish displays did not identify the winner. Russia were eventually confirmed as the champions. “I was so nervous over the last 20m I shut my eyes,” said Privalova. “I didn’t know we had won and it seemed like hours rather than minutes before the result was announced.” In third place, Jamaica duplicated their winning time from Tokyo and Merlene Ottey won her 10th world championship medal.

These are the official results of the Women's 4x100 metres event at the 1993 IAAF World Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. Their final was held on Sunday 1993-08-22.
